It's the final gameweek of the longest season ever and the FFFanatics are recording together as the games take place. Its close at the top of the @FPLFFFanatics Podcast league, which FFFanatic will finish the highest - will the joint team catch Andy? The FFFanatics also look ahead to players they have in mind for next season and once the final whistles blow they look back over their seasons.

Its the final fixture preview podcast of the season as Duncan, Ben and Gary looked ahead to gameweek 38+ and pick out two players from each of the fixtures to be considered in their free hit team and the results are pretty terrifying for non free hitters. There's a new face in the top 5 of the listen league and a tight tussle in the top two. The FFFanatics throw caution to the wind and take a hit for the joint team in an effort to catch Andy's team up. For the end of the season podcast as its so close at the top of our mini-league and any of four FFFanatics could win it (and the joint team is within touching distance of Andy) we're planning to record as the final games kick off for GW38+ *** Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

With Sterling's hattrick and Antonio's haul suddenly Gary and Duncan are back in the running for the FFFanatics mini-league.

Gary wants to know when to use his triple captain and who is suddenly performing best without fans watching. Duncan wants to talk FPL style - set and forget big hitters or changing them to target the whipping boys as well as who the best teams outside of the top five are to target for the last three gameweeks.

The FFFanatics dispense with the formalities this week and get straight into the nitty gritty. Its time for some FPL talking points and Duncan, Andy, Ben and Matt all have things to ask. Which defence is best for the last 5 gameweeks? When should we play our free hit? Who is the best goalkeeper to have after the restart? What is your greatest FPL fear?

There is a lot to talk about this week after the premier league’s return: A David Luiz cameo for the ages, Dawson’s scissor kick, Sir Marcus arises and a double gameweek to boot. Duncan, Ben, Matt and Gary look back at two of their successful chip strategies and two less than ideal approaches. The FFFanatics then pick the teams they want to talk about for gameweeks 31+ and 32+ before revealing their wildcard squads.

This week Ben points and laughs at West Ham’s defending, Duncan points out Adama Traore is even harder than he looks and Matt’s points all come from Liverpool. Its wildcard time for the joint team and in the fixture preview Matt thinks goal shy Palace could get their solidity back and that Everton’s fixtures might not be as tough as they seem. Ben looks at whether the new manager bounce is over at Watford. Duncan sees shoots of recovery at Bournemouth while West Ham look set for a drubbing. Is it time to drop Vardy, is the party finally finally over or has it moved back to Pukki’s house? With Villa’s fixtures should we move on from Grealish and which Spurs differential is worth considering? 

Duncan and Gary look back over a low scoring gameweek but one of them has done rather well. Duncan breaks Ings whilst benching Traore. Gary considers triple captaining a defender and there’s a maverick double gameweek pick for the FFFanatics joint team.

Duncan, Ben and Andy discuss the ultimate legendary ageing strikers. Ben spots lots of FPL options at Watford and bigs up the Arsenal defence, yes you read all that correct. Andy spots two delicious next two fixtures for one team. Roy books a bus for parking at the Etihad, while there is a team very low down the league expected to dish out a whipping this weekend. DLC is unlucky in front of goal, Almiron impresses all over the pitch and Williams is flying for Man United. Mean while Andy and Duncan go maverick in the midfield for the joint team.

Duncan and Matt take inspiration from a Christmas Carol and look back over the festive fixtures past and discuss what went so wrong in one Scrooge’s case and so right in the other’s. They look ahead to the future Double Gameweek 24 and talk Liverpool triple ups. There’s the usual review of all the upcoming fixtures picking out the opportunities and teams to avoid.
